気がつく

気がつくと、そこにありました。

Before I knew it, it was there.

気がつくのが恐ろしいか

Is it terrifying to become aware of it?

じきに気がつく

You'll soon notice.

— もののけ姫 (1997)

気がつくと逃げ場はどこにもなかった。

Before I knew it, there was nowhere left to run.

あなたなかなかよいところへ気がつくこと

You really do notice the good things.

— Sanjuro (1962)

妙に明るいんで雲の中だと気がつくまでに―ずいぶん時間がかかったよ

It was oddly bright, so it took me quite a while to realize I was in the clouds.
